It is likely that VOR navigation will remain a part of IFR training and testing until VORs are totally eliminated. On the other had, if you plan to train for your CFI in the 152 and then sell the plane and teach in a Citabria at a local school, then upgrading the radio will have a leveraged impact on the value of the airplane if it is re-sold within 12 to 18 months.Īll that said, training for the IFR will likely still require you to demonstrate VOR navigation skills - just as I had to learn and demonstrate an ADF approach in the 1960’s even though the FAA was in the process of phasing ADF approaches out in favor of VOR and ILS solutions. The value of the airplane of that age will have had minor depreciation, if any - but the value of the technology will have diminished by the depreciation cost of the new G355 to that of a 5-year-old G355.

Assuming you were to keep the plane 5 years … then the G430 would seem to be the best investment because the G355 will have devalued itself as a function of new technology solutions that will enter the market. The real question become ROI (return on investment) for an airplane of that age. That type of instruction does not have a need for “new technology” tools.

Give your apparent intent to use the plane for VFR and unusual attitude training - it won’t make much difference which of the two systems you install in a ’79 Cessna 152. My 430W is at the end of it’s shelf a few short years. Rate of change in the aviation technology trend is very rapid.
